No better way to see the Oxfordshire Cotswolds than by bike!
A fantastic route from the vale of the River Avon up across the open hills of the Cotswolds - varied cycling with sweeping views, hidden valleys with shaded lanes, woods, stone walls and wildflowers. The road is rolling, so the hills are rewarded with a freewheel afterwards. Old inns in beautiful villages offer welcome opportunities to take a well-earned break before arriving to refreshments, music and a beer tent at the finish in Oxford.
The route follows beautiful country lanes across the Cotswold Hills to the finish at Oxpens Meadows, where you can enjoy refreshments, live music and a well-earned drink in the beer tent!
"I have just completed the Birmingham to Oxford and once again your organisation is simple and effective. The atmosphere is relaxed and easy and the whole event, well signposted and efficient. Well done Bike events" J. M.
